Let’s all cuddle in a sunbeam today and just Give Eachother Pettings A Bunch.

That sounds pretty nice. 💜

Am I posting too many of these?

@Eve@witches.town hi I feel like I haven't seen you in a bit! Nice to have you around 💜

I'm still going on about SOL 

Realized this morning that I'd been *completely* misreading "Knowledge".

The phrase "the 99 percent" isn't being used in the Occupy sense. That's a misdirection. The song isn't about affluence, it's about being hated for choosing to be something outside of what society deems acceptable.

Weather update: pausing for gas in Chehalis. It's snowing pretty good but the roads are merely wet, not snowpacked or icy :)

Update: winter storm warning for this afternoon through tomorrow morning, and I'm planning on being back in Seattle tonight and at work the next day.

Fun!

Update: there's a ton of snow between Seattle and Portland!

Also this Honda Fit is a whole lot less stable on slippery roads than my old Jeep XJ was.

Glad I left early :)

"affect" (noun) is a hella important concept but it means like four subtly different things depending on context so it's tricky to actually introduce.

A *preposterously* trivial thing that I somehow find annoying: when people pronounce the TV show "Stranger Things" with the emphasis on the first word instead of the second.

Do y'all have anything like that?

Elite Dangerous, cool planet 

I don't actually know if a planet like that could exist for long without boiling away?

That's hotter than the surface of the sun.

Elite Dangerous, cool planet 

Sadly I didn't get a screengrab, but I found a wild planet the other day.

Metallic world orbiting _really_ close to a B-class star. 22 earth masses and 5.2G surface gravity.

...also a silicate-iron atmosphere at 17 million atm pressure, and a surface temperature of just under 10,000K.

...it wasn't visibly rendered as such, but that's a massive boiling ball of slag.

it's 59f inside my house right now.

That's a bit too cold.

I can't wait until we finally move from the gigaconomy to the petaconomy

(we'll bypass the teraconomy, it sounds scary)

I couldn't resit one more screenhot of Veil Nebula West.

Also, I landed on an exceptionally mineral-rich planet in a system that was completely un-visited before I got there.
